START FROM WHERE YOU ARE

-

“You don’t have to pack up your bags
and go to the Congo to make a difference.” says  Droga.

You can influence your world right from where you are
I usually think a man can only make mark in the US
But Nelson Mandela put me right
By writing a lyric with his life right in South Africa
And the world over sings his song of victory

Bishop Oyedepo did not go far to make his mark
He is touching the world right from Nigeria
Even Jesus did not tour the World to make a difference
He captured the world from Israel

And it is revealing to see God asking Abraham
To seize the land by seeing far just from where he is

“Give me a place to stand
And I will move my world” said Archimedes

Just from where you are you can make the difference
You can work to change a small portion of the world’s event
By changing lives

Anytime you mend the broken heart
You heal the sick
And you give the good news to the poor
You are writing the history of this generation

Just as Robert F. Kennedy said
“It is from numberless diverse acts of courage
And belief that human history is shaped
Each time a man stands for an ideal
Or act to improve the lot of others
Or strike out against injustice
He sends forth a tiny ripple of hope”

Stand from the comfort of your haven today
And start sending forth your own ripple of hope
By living a life that count

Becoming something in somebody’s life
Shape some body’s faith
Influence someone’s life
Let someone have a reason to live again
Just because of your existence

Right from where you are
Your occupation notwithstanding
Dare to make a difference

Shalom

YOU ARE NOT USELESS

"Before I kill myself I felt like talking to you". That was the first line of statement I heard from the other end of the phone with shock. Got a call today from a friend based in the US and the 2 hours talk birth this short video and write-up. I have this to say to 👉YOU: 1. PLEASE!!! Know that You are not useless, I don't care from which quarters those disheartening words might come from 🤐. Yes, it might hurt when the mouth saying those words is that of a revered person. But don't let the words of men delete your hope. Remembered that even the wise men in their wisdom got the birth place of Jesus wrong because manger doesn't match the star that they saw. "This is a king star they said to themselves so they headed to the palace", but God is a specialist in hiding treasure in vessel not fitted for it. He knows how to bring out goodness from places people have lost hope in. Samuel in his anointing saw Eliab and thought to himself this guy looks a...
